New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis is "itchy" to return to the court, but was non-committal on his chances of playing in the 2018-19 season.

The seven-footer tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in February and has been running lightly and shooting around with a little less than a month to go before the regular season starts.

But Porzingis is taking an understandably conservative approach to his recovery and when asked at the NBA's media day if he will play this season, he said: "It's hard to say."

He elaborated: "Whenever I'm ready, I'm going to be back.

"I'm getting itchy, and I want to be back on the court as soon as possible. But it won't happen until I am 110 per cent and medically cleared."
